Official Google Blog: Yes, we are still all about search<\/a>: “Yes, we are still all about search<\/p>\n

We are often asked at Google what we are doing to improve regular web search. There’s a lot of work that goes on behind the scenes, but today, at our press event, we announced four new products that will give you a better sense of how all this work becomes reality.<\/span><\/p>\n

Our new products offer a pretty wide range of services and capabilities, but they have one thing in common: They all enhance and improve the search experience for our users.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Google Co-op is a way for users to help us improve search. It lets people and organizations label web pages and create specialized links related to their unique expertise. Whether it’s information about a hobby, a profession, or an unusual interest, everyone can contribute to making Google search more relevant and useful for the entire community.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Google Desktop 4 gives you another way to improve search, by personalizing your desktop. New ‘Google Gadgets’ deliver an array of information–ranging from games and media players to weather updates and news–straight to your desktop.<\/span><\/p>\n

– Google Notebook (which we’ll be launching next week) is a personal browser tool that lets you clip text, images, and links from the pages you’re searching, save clippings to an online notebook, and then share notebooks with others.<\/span><\/p>\n

– <\/span>Google Trends<\/a> builds on the idea behind the Google Zeitgeist, allowing you to sort through several years of Google search queries from around the world to get a general idea of everything from user preferences on ice-cream flavors to the relative popularity of politicians in their respective cities or countries.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
